Also, please confirm that it isn't attracted to a magnet. Thx.

Spence Moderator United States 34396 Posts	Posted 08/13/2021 1:20 pm Ok good to know it is copper, although those evenly spaced dimples are ringing any bells for me in terms of a design element for a hammered coin. How confident are you on the age of this piece actually being 19th Century or earlier? I wonder if it isn't some slag from a hunk of copper in a campfire. It will be nice to see what others think too.
